Tomorrow marks the beginning of New York Fashion Week , which, in turn, heralds the start of a month-long A/W 2026 season of shows, with subsequent stops in London , Milan and Paris . It looks to be a season of (relative) calm: after 15 creative directors made their debut for S/S 2026, the coming weeks look set to see designers hone their visions as they settle into their roles (as such, A/W 2026 looks to be defined not by the ⁘debut⁘, but the ⁘sophomore⁘ show).

That said, the debuts continue, most notably in Milan, where Gucci will hold its first runway show under new creative director Demna (last season, as an introduction, he presented a short film starring Demi Moore and Edward Norton), Maria Grazia Chiuri will show her first collection for Fendi , and Meryll Rogge will debut at Marni. And those shows aside, the schedule across the month remains busy ⁘ not least in Paris, where an eight-day schedule cements the city⁘s status as the world⁘s style capital.

Here, on the eve of a new season in style, everything you need to know about Women⁘s Fashion Week A/W 2026.

Elsewhere, New York⁘s usual banner names return: Michael Kors will show on February 12, Calvin Klein on February 13, and Eckhaus Latta on February 14. Surrounding them are some brilliant rising names: we are big fans Zane Li⁘s fledgling label LII , which marries 1990s minimalism with architectural construction and a bold colour palette, while Ashlyn, led by Yohji Yamamoto alumnus Ashlynn Park, is evolving into one of New York⁘s most intriguing young labels with its reimagining of historical silhouettes and straddling of Japanese and Parisian codes (she recently won the 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund). Other moments to watch out for are Nicholas Aburn⁘s sophomore show as creative director of Area, and the latest runway show from Khaite, which ⁘ if previous runway shows are anything to go by ⁘ will come with cinematic scenography conceived by founder Catherine Holstein and her architect husband Griffin Frazen.

Clinique's Black Honey Lipstick Is $19

We've been championing Clinique's barely there (in the best way) lip color since 2017, when Amy Larocca , who was at that point our fashion editor-at-large, declared it an utterly "perfect" lipstick that manages to "look good on everyone." I've been a fan for even longer; Almost Lipstick's iconic silver tubes have been floating around my various tote bags, makeup bags, and desk drawers since high school. I've never been a big lipstick wearer or makeup person in general, which is precisely why I love Black Honey: The goth-tinged deep-raisin color of the stick is actually nothing more than a sheer veil of color when applied. A single swipe of that, plus some tinted sunscreen, and I simultaneously feel pulled-together yet extremely casual.

The 12 Best Café Au Lait Nail Ideas 2026

It's official – I'm in my clean nail era. After a recent trip to a Margaret Dabbs London clinic which offers manis and pedis to the highest standard – at one point, I had a warm compress on each hand –, I forewent coloured gel in favour of a milky-toned strengthener polish. As someone who rarely veers away from the kind of colours Wednesday Adams would approve of, this was kind of a big deal.

As I sit and write this, I'm a phone call away from booking my next nail appointment. I'm not ready to part with nude nails yet, but a slight switch up wouldn't go a miss. Enter café au lait nails: a creamy taupe which offers the perfect ratio of milk to coffee. Delicious.

⁘Soft, creamy nudes and taupes enhance the natural nail, which aligns with the growing desire for understated elegance and long-term nail health,⁘ explains expert podiatrist Margaret Dabbs. ⁘As more people move away from acrylics, shades like café au lait offer a polished, 'your nails but better' finish that complements every skin tone while still feeling elevated.⁘

The best way to embrace the trend? ⁘With a warmer finish, it compliments all skin tones and works as a great base for earth-toned French manicures e.g. brown and deep coloured tips,⁘ explains London-based manicurist Nails by Mets . To add a subtle depth to the trend, opt for velvet or cat eye which will catch eyes when they hit the light at certain angles. Alternatively, tap into spring nail trends such as polka dots and floral designs, with café au lait as the base foundation.⁘

Proof that a low maintenance mani gives a high impact finish. Short, square nails paired with the coffee-toned shade look instantly chic and elevated.

For longer, almond-shaped nails, try leaning into the ombré trend and taking the nails from a weak-to-strong café au lait shade. Finish with an ultra glossy top coat or chrome.

Proof that glitter should never be reserved for the festive season. A top coat like the Mylee Gel Nail Polish Glitter Top Coat works wonders with the caffeine-inspired shade.

Joan Smalls Pairs Giant-Sized Cargo Pants With A Tiny Bra

Not so long ago, cargo pants—with all their extra pockets and baggy proportions—were firmly in fashion's "don't" column. But the utilitarian silhouette, once a relic of construction sites and frat bros, has been steadily reclaimed by the fashion set over the past several months. Its latest champion? Joan Smalls.

Smalls made the case for oversized cargos at the Marc Jacobs spring 2026 runway show in New York last night. The model supersized the trend, however, by wearing a pair of deliberately huge trousers. Done in an army green color, her pants featured two comically large pockets on either leg and bunching at the hem. Though they nipped in Small's waist, they were so long that her black heels were almost all but hidden underneath.

Smalls went minimal up top. She wore a mustard yellow bra that bared her midriff, with a brown faux fur coat that she styled coolly on her arms. Tousled curls and natural, glowing skin were the finishing touches.

The look actually joined pieces from Jacobs's fall 2026 runway presented in July, which leaned into exaggerated, almost doll-like proportions. Though Smalls's pants were shown with a lavender bubble top, she opted to go the lingerie route on Monday evening.

Smalls isn't the only star embracing the look. At the Dior Men show in Paris last month, model Mona Tougaard took to the front row in a pair of too-big cargo shorts, designed with a sculpted bustle at the back, and a fitted knit top. The likes of Rihanna (and her sons, Riot and RZA ), Tyla , and Gigi Hadid have all gotten in on the resurgent trend too.

But cargos aren't just a celebrity phenomenon. In addition to Jacobs, the 2000s staple has been reimagined by Jonathan Anderson at Dior, New York favorite Willy Chavarria, and Sacai.

Ndchen Debuts Her Wedding Ring After Marrying Joaquim Valente

The supermodel and the jiu-jitsu instructor tied the knot on December 3 at their home in Surfside, Florida.

Just over two months after Gisele Bündchen married Joaquim Valente in a small, private ceremony at their home in Surfside, Florida, the supermodel stepped out wearing her wedding ring.

"I can't believe it's already been over a year since you came to bless our lives," she wrote. "Thank you, God, for so much❤️ ⁘."

In another Instagram post , Bündchen wrote, "Thank you, 2025. I step into this new year with gratitude, love, and trust for what's next❤️🙏🏼✨."

"As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is full," she added. "This year brought deep lessons and profound growth. Becoming a mother again reshaped everything—my time, my priorities, my heart. I'm grateful for these sacred moments that changed me in ways words can't fully hold."

Naomi Watts' Stella McCartney Polka Dot Top Look Is Classic Chic

When it comes to polka dots , it's one fashion element that never re ally goes out of style, and Naomi Watts just gave the classic print a fresh, polished spin for the taping of her appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show." For this occasion, she opted for a Stella McCartney polka dot top paired with a sleek leather skirt. This ended up merging this vintage and playful pattern with all things modern and structured, creating a sense of sophisticated sophistication and giving a nod to vintage charm with a touch of modern trends.

For this occasion, Naomi Watts opted for a spectacular ensemble that accentuated her oh-so-enviable curves. "The Ring" actress' latest look featured a stylish polka-dotted top from none other than Stella McCartney. This full-sleeved white top with black polka dots created a rather monochromatic touch. It also had a cowl-like neckline. Watts' look also featured an extended sleeve and an oversized silhouette, which added to its appeal.

Further, Watts' accessory game included bold gold hoops, a matching ring, and stylish black sunglasses. These added a touch of charm to her ensemble. Even her blonde locks were styled into a bob with a wavy twist and a middle parting. This perfectly framed her face. Even her natural-looking makeup, paired with bright pink lipstick, looked awesome with the whole look.

Nab that French-woman je ne sais quoi with these cold-weather basics that ooze sophistication (while still keeping you warm).

Ponchos are making a comeback, and we're here for the versatile style that adds extra dimension (and warmth!) to any outfit.
